I'm hoping someone can help,
I'm trying to create a form that allows someone to add/remove a user from a Teams team using PowerApps portal by seeing what teams they are a member of and selecting the available company teams from a drop down.
I can create this fine in a Canvas app, however I can't seem to figure out how to do this in the Portal as we are aiming to make a portal for our company guest users rather than people with a license
Any ideas?
Hi @narcishlb,
Those are fair points, but I wouldn't confuse "PowerApps Portals" with PowerApps. PowerApps Portals is a bit of a misnomer - it's more likely "CDS Portal", as it's a way to (mostly) configure a quick website to work with CDS data.
If you're not wanting to use code in the portal to solve the problem, then you will most likely need to investigate one of the other mentioned platforms, as your particular request isn't possible right now.
sorry about that, I thought you meant Teams as in CDS teams/users
I guess the only option here would be through code, I can't see any other way to achieve that
Thank you for the reply @justinburch
Easy to do via Graph, but that requires coding and defeats the purpose of powerapps which is low (no) code. We need a way for it to work similar to canvas apps.
If we're just going to code - it's actually a lot easier to setup a cron job and send via API and code that in - we can use any other platform that does not require a subscription and is easier to develop - like creating a normal site in PHP, TypeScript etc.
thank you for the reply @OliverRodrigues
All the users have various M365 subscriptions in their own tenant, but they are just a guest in ours. All of them are member of at least 1 team in our tenant as we provide ways for them to talk to each other.
The purpose is to allow a guest to add/remove a user from a team they belong to without having to message the team owner - so allowing self management through a powerapps portal that does not require a license as we cannot provide all of them with licenses.
The portal will also need to have other things like forms that push data into our CRM etc - but those we can easily achieve as the portal allows us to create a CDS form that we can flow into the CRM - the issue is when we need to integrate other things into the portal like Teams or Salesforce.
The users have access to sharepoint that we made for them, teams that we made for them and we're looking at other functionality using a portal if it's possible, however I can't find any way of doing it if it's not a canvas app
Hi @narcishlb,
Are you referencing adding a user to a Microsoft Teams channel/team? I believe this is what you mean, as Teams has a Canvas app connector, but requires a licensed user to authenticate (which wouldn't work in the Portal for external users).
If so, then in order to replicate this functionality in the Portal, you'll most likely need to utilize the Graph API. Are you looking to use the user's Teams associations and have them manage those channels, or with a specific org?
Hi
Portal users are actually not represented in CDS as a system user, but as a contact record instead
so even if you sign in via Azure AD for example, the Portals will create a contact record for you and contacts are not related to team
for example I guess you are planning to expose your data to external users, and I assuming these users wouldn't have teams as they don't have access to CDS directly, am I correct?
